Fox has picked up Canadian legal drama “Diggstown” from Entertainment One.
Created by Floyd Kane, and starring Vinessa Antoine, the series from Canadian public broadcaster CBC follows Marcie Diggs (Antoine), a star corporate lawyer who reconsiders her priorities and moves to work in a legal-aid office after her aunt commits suicide following the pressures of a malicious prosecution. Among a new group of ragtag lawyers, Marcie is driven by one thing: to never again allow innocent lives to be destroyed by the justice system.
Fox has swooped for seasons 1 and 2 of the drama. The acquisition marks the latest Canadian pick-up by a U.S. broadcaster — a trend that has grown in popularity in the last year as the Covid-19 crisis has stunted production Stateside but has had less of an impact north of the border.

La David Johnson, and Trump’s false claim that his predecessors did not make such calls.
In fact, the custom is long-established and many past presidents have reached out to Gold Star families to offer condolences through letters, private meetings and invitations.
That includes former President John F. Kennedy, who wrote one such letter to the grieving widow of Rudolf Anderson Jr.

President Trump has claimed that he alone — not Barack Obama or other past presidents — has called “virtually” all families of U.S. soldiers who have died in service since Trump took office in January.
But Gold Star families have since lashed out at Trump over his false claims about past presidents, recalling how they were comforted by Obama and former President George W. Bush as they grieved.

President Donald Trump sharply denounced as “totally fabricated” a Florida congresswoman’s claim that he “sarcastically” told the widow of a U.S. soldier killed this month in Niger that he “must’ve known what he signed up for.” “Sad!” Trump tweeted Wednesday morning of U.S. Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-Fla.), who said Tuesday that she overheard the president’s call to the widow of Sgt. La David Johnson on speakerphone. “And I have proof,” Trump added, without further detail. Democrat Congresswoman totally fabricated what I said to the wife of a soldier who died in action (and I have proof). Sad!

"Breaking Bad" and "Revolution" actor Giancarlo Esposito has lined up historical drama "Patriotic Treason" as his next directorial effort.
Ed Harris is set to star as radical abolitionist John Brown who lead the 1859 raid on Harper’s Ferry. Brown hoped the attack would ignite a slave uprising.
Instead it left eleven dead and led to Brown’s capture, after which he was found guilty of treason and hanged. The notoriety of his violent attacks are credited with sparking the Civil War.
Esposito will also star in the project as Frederick Douglass, a freed slave-turned-abolitionist and orator who declined to join the Harper’s Ferry attack.
Jose Rivera ("Motorcycle Diaries," "On The Road") adapted the script from Evan Carton's 2006 book. Esposito, Keith Sweitzer, Robert Knott, Jesse Singer and David Johnson will produce. Filming aims to begin early in the Summer.

On paper, Andrew Stoloff knew it made no sense to buy Rubicon Bakery in Richmond, Calif. But the former Wall Street analyst's decision to take over the failing business in 2009 and save the jobs of its 14 part-time employees - most of whom were recovering drug addicts or ex-convicts - had little to do with dollars or cents. "I fell in love with its mission: to give people a second chance," says Stoloff, 53. Today, the wholesale bakery has $8 million in sales and 80 full-time employees, who earn between $8.50 and $24 an hour, receive health insurance, paid vacation and have access to an interest-free employee loan program.
